2018 Pinot noir<br />
Kaufman Sunnyslope<br />
Vineyard<br />
Sonoma Mountain<br />
Appellation<br />
Sonoma Mountain<br />
Winemaker Joe Otos has been crafting award-winning<br />
wines from the prestigious Kaufman Sunnyslope<br />
vineyard since 2008. A five-acre site on the cooler north<br />
side of Sonoma Mountain, it produces Pinot noir grapes<br />
of the highest quality thanks to fog-free daytime sun<br />
offset by cool mountain evenings.<br />
Variety<br />
100% Pinot noir<br />
Alcohol<br />
14.3%<br />
Aging<br />
French Oak Barrels<br />
Picked on October 12th and fermented cool—and<br />
partially whole cluster — until gently pressed on the<br />
29th, our 2018 <strong>Willowbrook</strong> <strong>Cellars</strong><br />
Kaufman Sunnyslope Vineyard Pinot noir<br />
displays nuanced aromas of cherry, tea<br />
and sandalwood. On the palate the wine<br />
offers abundant and interwoven flavors<br />
of blackberry, mushroom and savory<br />
spices, with a hint of cocoa. The poised,<br />
smooth mouthfeel leads to a focused<br />
finish of complex, nutty tannins and a<br />
gentle yet distinct acidity.<br />
Bottle Size<br />
750 ml<br />
This layered Pinot is ready to drink now<br />
but will benefit from aging for the next<br />
five years. It pairs naturally with<br />
mushroom fettuccini, oven-roasted herb<br />
potatoes or fine Manchego.<br />
